Non traumatic torticollis

March 2018 | by EMauthor


The patient presents with neck pain with the neck held in abnormal position

Differentiate from traumatic Torticollis which can indicate significant C-spine injury

There  no history of trauma in this condition, however look for other precipitating causes that may require specific management such as pharyngeal infection

The condition is accompanied by muscle spasm

It is usually self limiting and the patient needs reassurance and analgesia
